LeBlanc: Cancer can’t stop Austin woman from at least trying to tackle the Cap 10K this year

For 34 of the past 35 years, Diane Key has swept through downtown Austin as part of the rolling street party known as the Statesman Capitol 10,000.

A middle- to back-of-the-packer, she’s never set any speed records. She just loves the event, and the people watching that goes with it. She’s also never worried about finishing the race — until this year.

The Statesman Capitol 10,000 is the largest 10K race in Texas and one of the top 10 in the nation. In its 40th year, the Cap10K will take place on April 23, 2017 in downtown Austin. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a beginner, come see why the Cap10K is a rite of spring in Austin. You can come in your favorite super hero costume…or design your own shirt and run with friends.
